Major Activities

Activity 2

Kits and Materials: NEED's mission is to design and deliver comprehensive energy education curriculum. All NEED curriculums is updated with new data, technologies, and issues on an annual basis. NEED's hands-on approach to energy education requires that educators be provided the tools and resources needed in the classroom. This often means the provision of hands-on science equipment and tools. NEED's Teacher Advisory Board and Curriculum Committee create kits for multiple grade levels and for multiple content areas. These kits are integrated with the printed NEED curriculum and are provided to educators attending NEED workshops. NEED curriculum materials are designed at four reading levels - primary, elementary, intermediate, and secondary. Each guide contains a teacher guide and student lessons for the energy units. The entire NEED portfolio is available free of charge online at www.need.org.

Activity 3

Program Administration: NEED's mission is to design and deliver comprehensive energy education curriculum and training. As part of this effort, NEED establishes and administers many signature programs for agencies, companies and organizations. Most of these programs including the curriculum, training workshops, and kits mentioned throughout NEED's federal Form 990, but these programs also include turn-key staff support of local schools - providing classroom visits, local community support for programming, in-class teaching opportunities, teacher support and classroom trouble-shooting, design and delivery of websites to support programmatic goals, and overall administration of the energy education programs NEED has underway each year. In addition, NEED has developed strong grant-making capability and administers a number of grant programs thanks to the support of several donors. All of these grant programs have a rubric, independent reviewers and NEED both administers the recruitment/marketing phase of the grants, but also the online application, selection, and actual payment of the grant to the individual school.
